About Bacalhau a braga

Bacalhau à Braga is a traditional Portuguese dish originating from the city of Braga, celebrated across the country for its robust flavors. The dish features salt cod (bacalhau), which is soaked and desalted, then fried to a golden perfection. It is accompanied by thinly sliced potatoes, also fried, and served with sautéed onions, garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil. Often garnished with fresh parsley or olives, Bacalhau à Braga is a comforting and hearty meal. Salt cod is rich in protein and low in fat but can be high in sodium depending on preparation, so moderation is important. Olive oil adds heart-healthy fats, while the dish provides essential vitamins from garlic and onions. However, the frying process contributes to higher fat and calorie content, making this a dish best enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet.
